" It's dangerous out there. Take this, " a wise and powerful old man told me while handing me a potent item.
" I think I have heard something before." I immediately said that my gamer instincts were triggering for some reason.
" What?" The Ancient One said while handing me a ring.
" Nothing, so what does it do?"
" You should learn the appraisel spell, it could be helpful to understand items without having to touch them."
" THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND YOU SAID NOTHING?" I said while taking the ring from his hand.
" You didn't ask." He smiled like a fox when he heard me scream.
" Fuck you." And then I took a look at what the ring does.
Ring of Dimensional Hiding (Epic)
Description: Made by a very powerful sorcerer to help one of their students, this ring was made using some of the rarest elements in nature and some of the most powerful spells. Its objective is only one: to protect its holder from outside powers.
Durability: 1000/1000
Dimensional Hiding: This ring has the power to hide its holder from being perceived in all dimensions by most outside powers. If the one perceiving is powerful enough, this ring can only temporarily help and warn the user that he is being looked at.
"... Does this mean what I think it means?"
" Yes, you can once again use your own dimensional powers without worry."
I hugged him before my could even realise I was doing so, I expected him to move me away, to awkwardly pat my back, to do something that would make the situation weird, but he didn't, he just patted my back while hugging me back, it felt good.
After a few seconds, I let him go while coughing, my powers doing their best to hide how nervous I was.
" Well, I will leave Mary with you since I am taking obsidian and Ivy with me, is it ok?"
" I will have quite a fun evening with her, she loves the tea I make."
I nodded and readied myself, taking some weapons from the armoury and some magical materials needed for some specific spells.
'Finally, I can go back to grinding, while I grew quite a lot, levelling and fighting is the fastest way to grow stronger, and to do what I must.'
After equipping all my items and getting Ivy and obsidian from Mary, I activated ID creation to finally go back to dungeoneering.
Possible IDS: Empty, Goblins, Zombies
'Well, that's strange. Regardless, it's time to chew ass and kick gums.'
Selecting the ID, I felt the dimension around me shift as I exited this earth to traverse to another one.
I felt it before I saw it, my connection to the world's heart remained, but it felt weak, the life of this earth almost completely depleted, the moment it felt my connection, it began beating fast, very fast, in hope of its cry to be heard, for its wish of survival to be accomplished, it screamed for help, and I am the only one able to hear it.

' Seriously, game? You think I can save a fucking world when I am only now able to save myself?'
Sighing, I prepared myself for quite a long mission; it will take more than just one dive, but until I can use dimension to grind and grow stronger, I will.
"FUCK" I was snapped away from my notification when I felt a very fast being approaching, forcing me to use Thron Vines to make him fall on the portal I had create below him and teleporting him 10 meters above the ground, turning him into nothing more than a pancake.
You have killed a Lv.17 Speed-Type Zombie
+1700 XP, 134 $, Zombie Tooth (Item usable as material for magical or scientific purposes)
'Well, that was unticlimatic, oh no, Murphy is going to fuck me right?'
As if on cue with my realisation, a cacophony of growls and screams began heading in my direction, some of them already visible due to their size of big trucks.
Sighing, I make Obsidian go down on the ground, Ivy moving around my arm to be used as a whip or sword if necessary. She had gained the ability to become thin and sharp enough to turn into a weapon, not a very good one, but still a weapon nonetheless.
Summoning a wall of thorn vines gave me enough time to activate all my passive spells to make me much stronger, and to also portal the bigger and more dangerous zombies away from the area, after some of the zombies got caught in my vines, Obsidian proceeded to torch them down with his breath, the smell was horrible, but disgust aside I was receiving a cacophony of notification as I teared down the small horde that had tried to ambush me.
'It's been a while since the last time I had "alive" targets to try out my spell against.'
Reading my spellcrafting skill, I began manipulating the mana to try and create some spells I had idealised but never had a chance of using due to their danger, the first one being quite possibly one of the most dangerous.
Something I had realised during my stay with the Ancient One is that Dimensional Mana is one of the most adaptable mana in existence. Plants can all be dead, I could be fighting beings without blood, but a dimension? A dimension can't just stop existing.
'Now what would happen if I just...'
As a result of my manipulation, the dimension shifted under my command, causing the two sides of the horde to just smash against each other. What I had done was quite a basic but very powerful and costly spell, causing two very far points to just become one, or at least very close to each other, since making just a point would have created a portal, to make the bodies that were between the two spaces smash against each other.
Some of the zombies are instantly turned into two-dimensional beings and thus unable to move any further, but no apparent damage was done to their bodies, unfortunately.
'Bummer, last one, and for this one I'll need Obsidian to give me some of his mana.'
Concentrating, I let Obsidian and Ivy have their fun against the remaining zombies, I even ignored the flying zombie who was about to smash against me.
I felt the mana around me eagerly listening to me, wishing to be used and to finally move around like it wanted to, and so I moved it, I removed all the dimensional mana around the flying being, but I didn't just entangle him, no, I made something more powerful.
Just as he was about to smash against me, just mere inches away, he stopped, no rebound, no whiplash, everything about his body just became static.
I opened my eyes and smiled at my result, but then I got stunned when I realised who I had just put under a time stasis.
